Running Bear's Adventure

What is it?
In simplest terms, this is a Zelda 2-D type game being developed in JAVA. It will be free to those who wish to play it. Since it will be written in JAVA 1.4.1, it will run on any OS. You may need to install a newer Java kit, but these are FREE from Sun. It's still under development, but as new resources become availible (character/critter sketches, Plot, conceptual shots, etc.) they will be posted. The inititial Beta should be released some time in June/July 2003 and the final version will be released September 2003. The initial version will only have a single level of play, while the final version should have 2 levels of play.

Who is Running Bear?
Running Bear (a.k.a. Rubert) is a Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition character I play with a group of friends. He is from a tribe of nomadic people who live on a rather large island. He is very strong, aware of his surroundings, but is a bit clumbsy and not too smart.

What is the game about?
Still being worked out. Current thoughts on this are that RB will be investigating a powerful creature who resembles his sister and learn of it's motives. More notes about this creature will be given later.
